O, Art is Such a Curse...
I've been watching Dollhouse!
If someone is reading this and hasn't seen it, WATCH IT. It's not amazing yet, but I can tell it's building up to that point. And it's by Joss Whedon. And Firefly is full of so much love that I'd watch ANYTHING by Joss (even if I still haven't seen Buffy; I want to though!! )
Well recently I got this strong URGE to paint, and I even had this super-vivid dream where I went to an art store and was trying to buy all these tubes of paint (oil paint. I ONLY use oil paint, I love it to death. It's so rich and beautiful...) but then I went back and there were different ones and I chose those... so yeah.
SO I went to an art store and I only chose a few things: 3 large tubes of paint (white, black, and blue-- blue because for the painting I'm doing, I'll be needing a lot of blue and one large tube is less expensive than 2 smaller tubes), 3 or 4 small tubes of paint, this awesome book called Figure or something that had amazing advice and just captivated me so much that I HAD to buy it (even though it was the most expensive item), some paintbrushes, some turpentine, this product to get paint off of your hands, and a few types of finish.
And my total was $170.
Which I could NOT afford.
So I had to get rid of a bunch of stuff and just got the three large paint tubes and 2 small ones, and the book, and the turpentine. It was still pretty expensive, about $85. Which doesn't SOUND expensive, but I don't like spending so much money... xD Unless it's on CDs.
Anyway, I still need more paint and the finish and the paintbrushes I chose are nice. The ones I already own are not-as-nice.
Therefore, being an artist is a curse. Because materials are so damn expensive.
And writer's block is always, ALWAYS lurking...
Though lately I have gotten lots of urges to write! =D
Just never when I have anything nearby to write on.
I absolutely HATE it when I start writing an actual story in my head and come up with these beautiful, poetic (but not TOO poetic) lines that are perfect... and I forget. The curse, the curse...
Oh, and since I'm so late on everything... I've been playing Okami. And I am addicted! I played it for over five hours yesterday. I'm at the part where (don't read if you plan on playing it xD) the city has this huge curse. I'm the size of Issun (he looks WEIRD when he looks like a person) and I'm inside of the Emperor. Ewwwwww. Oh, I just remembered... I was actually fighting that boss that was in the Emperor's bowels, but then I paused the game because it was dinnertime and here I am, hours later, with the game still paused... and it's getting late. OHWELL.
Oh, and Rao's boobs...................
xDDD
AND ISSUN'S REACTION.
Moving onwards, now.
Oh, right!
Pretty much all of the CDs I ordered are arriving at around the same time.
I got Kyomu no Naka deno Yuugi, my favorite Malice Mizer song, and a V.A. CD with a bunch of awesome music like SiSen and GOTHIKA and THE ROYAL DEAD and such on it. I got emails a couple days ago saying my GPKism CD, Kanon Wakeshima CD, and D CD are being shipped, so yay!
Now I feel like saving up money for lolita clothes... I realllllyyy feel like saving up money for lolita clothes... I'll need thousands of dollars, though. Oh, dreams...
